When you buy an apple product do you buy it because it's a status symbol?

    Apple is just as bad with spyware as Windows.

    For me, I buy an old used computer and toss linux on it.

    If I think it has been compromised, I just R/R and put a different Linux on it.

    Apple computers want to charge for everything. 

    Did you know that Apple computers are a 'version' of linux?

    No, for functionality and reliability.

    I'm a programmer; I use some Apple gear, some running windows, some running linux and some Android.

    I have a Mac Mini that's now nine years old and is still as fast as some present model macbooks. The last iphone I had lasted five or six years before I passed it on to a relative. Apple equipment is very well made and long lasting.

    No. I buy the Apple product because I like how it works.

    I buy PC's for the computing part because a PC is easier to take care of and you can get more computing power for the money. However, I switched to the iPhone but only because it's more reliable than other Smartphones. LG is quitting the Smartphone because they couldn't figure out how to make a reliable Smartphone. 

    My iphone has good battery life, it rarely freezes, and it's not coming apart.

    nope.  I buy iPhones because the Samsung alternative is crippled [system updating fails to replace old systems, thus gobbling up all the memory.  I assume this is because Android system updates aren't fully tested and the phone has to save the old system code should it need to be rolled back -- but the Samsung seems to carry this to extreme -- saving, in the case of one such phone i looked at in depth, 6 or more old systems.  iPhones don't do this and thus your available space in storage is far larger.]

    The ONLY Apple products that I buy are edible ones.  Status symbols are EXTREMELY low down on my list of priorities.

    Edit: It appears that there are at least 2 morons offering thumbs down here.  I pity those tossers' lack of intelligence.

    That must be it . . . . I have friends who buy only apple - even when another brand is better.  They think it is status;  I think "sucker".
